> not $1200 for 10 weeks: more like $1200 per week
I agree $1200 for 10 weeks is a bit low, but $1200 per week is really high and maybe a bit excessive? Can somebody get Andrew Yang back on the case?

This is all assuming the crisis is managed well enough that it actually ends in 8 weeks. Part of that is communicating the plan so people don't think they are choosing a risk of sickness over certain famine. Someone like Newsom or Cuomo needs to do a presser addressing how they are making sure the lockdown does not ruin you if you're living paycheck to paycheck.
It further assumes that a) enough cereal, pasta, and canned whatever is available to purchase for everyone and b) that everyone is easily able to plan for exactly enough of all of it to get them through.
I do not find any of these assumptions to be terribly credible.
